Directions For Use
Prior to collecting a soil sample, remove any debris or mulch from the surface.
For soils around shallow rooted plants, take a sample at a depth of 10-15 cm below the surface. For soils around deep-rooted trees and shrubs, take a sample at a depth of 25-30cm.
For soils or potting mixes in Pots and Containers, take a sample at a depth of root zone.
If the collected sample is hard and lumpy, crush to make it finer for easy mixing.
MEASURING pH
- Place a small soil sample (about half a teaspoon) on the testing plate provided.
- Add a few drops of indicator Liquid just enough to stir into a thick paste.
- Dust the white Barium powder from puffer bottle on the moist paste.
- The white powder dusted on the paste, changes colour within a minute.
- Compare the colour change on paste with the colour chart provided to the nearest colour and read the pH value.
- Wash both plate and mixing rod thoroughly after each test to avoid cross contamination.
